  • Organize and maintain clear product records in PLM (Arena), ensuring all documentation is up-to-date and accessible
  • Foster clear and transparent communication across teams, ensuring all stakeholders are informed of project status, risks, and key decisions
Required Qualifications:
  • 7+ years of product design experience with 3+ years of leading ME/PD projects with a strong track record of ushering projects from early concept development through the NPI phases

  • Excellent math skills, including advanced geometry, calculus, and physics
  • Familiarity with CAD (Siemens NX preferred) and other mechanical simulation software (ANSYS or similar)
  • Advanced problem-solving skills, with a strong balance of creative and critical thinking abilities
  • Strong interpersonal skills and ability to work effectively within and across teams
  • Exceptional communication skills, with a commitment to clear and transparent reporting and collaboration
